Critical teacher shortage disrupting school openings

[Mr swag]

Damn OP I thought teachers were overpaid

I’m my area they are and there isn’t a shortage

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

These people think money is the answer for every problem. The older they get, the more they'll understand its not.

Money isn't the answer for every problem, but it sure does make a lot of those problems easier to deal with.

Aye you c00n ass bytch @Matt504, go out there and save the community since you seem to know all the answers. Put your money where ya mouth is bytch ass nikka.

They need nikkas like you.

You said 21 Savage, a man that raps about murdering Black people isn't a c00n but I am. And you're angrily pointing at me to "fix" things while you literally listening to Young Nudy rap about murdering Black people as we speak.

I'm currently listening to Young Nudy new album talking about black genocide, but yet I don't want to go out and kill a random nikka. I don't want to go start beef with some random nikka. My lil brothers don't want to go out and run the streets, etc... It's just music to me, to them, and it should be to every other person. If you can't distiguish that, then the music truly isn't the priority. You may want to get check for lead poisining. Which has been a real problem and is known to indulce violence among people. That's the type of shyt you see in poverty.

You need to see a therapist.

Same here


One thing I noticed mentioned in a few of those reports in the OP is that less people are choosing Teaching as a major in college.

Not really. A lot of the teachers in inner city public schools are done with the disrespect coming from some of these students. You had long time teachers making good money quitting jobs and going another direction.

Dealing with the public isn't worth it anymore.

That's the inner city though. A lot of teachers don't work there and don't have to deal with those problems, so of course in their case more money would potentially help.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Teachers are fed up and I’m not surprised.

 

[PortCityProphet]

This is a beautiful thing
The only way things gon change is if they force them to. These teachers unions should really rally together now. Let this shyt fail. fukk them kids.(not literally I know how them teachers are ) but make everyone suffer and they'll get what they want in 2 months.

I can also guarantee that the folks talking about upping the pay as the end all / be all are also the folk who've never been a classroom teacher a day in their life.

I'm not talking about "working with kids" at an after school program, summer camp, or any BS like that. I'm talking about working at an accredited school where you're the lead teacher and you have to lesson plan, instruct, grade homework, create and grade exams, deal with blowback from hostile parents, budgets being annually cut to the point that you have to pay with your own money to outfit your classroom, standardized testing being the ultimate barometer of your skills and subsequent worth, and deal with an administration that will throw you under the bus with the quickness to avoid a lawsuit or any type of parental controversy.

Most teachers aren't mad at the pay. I was a teacher in NYC, on the lower end of the payscale due to inexperience, and was still living comfortably with the ability to save a few dollars each paycheck. They're mad at their input not being matched by the output of the parents, students, and their higher ups. That's what made me say goodbye to classroom teaching, I can assure anyone that.

Only so long you can abuse an educated human being who has other options before they realize no amount of money is worth it and they go explore those other options.

I've dated many teachers in my past, so I'm well aware of the frustrations that they deal with on a daily basis. Money is one of them.

Same guy from previous discussion I remember that

 

[franknitty711]

In America nothing provided to citizens via taxation provides much value anymore.

 

[feelosofer]

I just watched a lady on ticktock do a video of an empty classroom and how decorations and supplies had to come out of her pocket. Now she got donations off that video but it was crazy still.

Nikka said dated. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Breh, I don't give a fukk about who you were dipping your dikk into. Unless you're on the frontlines of the occupation, please don't try to tell people who have been what drives us out of the occupation.

And you can go ahead and do the typical Coli thing and get in the last word after being edified. I've said my piece and I'm done with this back and forth.

You're speaking your perspective though

Just because the money don't mean anything to you doesn't mean that's just the case for everyone else. This is The Coli though where people to lump their experiences together and think that it speaks for everyone else around them. You also chill the fukk out on the whining and attitude as I can promise you that shyt isn't going to make your argument any more clearer like you think.
